Of Kuala Terengganu's 1,035 postal voters, 1,001 or 97% are police personnel. Of these, 864 are registered at 3 police locations within the Ladang state seat (N15). Other than police personnel, there are 27 army and 7 absentee postal voters residing abroad.

KT's postal voters are mostly police voters (1001/1035 or 97%), including those in police HQ (IPD), Federal Reserve Unit (FRU or PSP), and contingent police HQ (IPK). To understand the Malaysian police structure and abbreviations, see these Wikipedia articles in Malay and English:

IPD: Map location for the IPD should be here:
IPK: The map location from Streetdb.com for the IPK seems to be outside of KT parliamentary seats, a few kms to the north, in N11 (Seberang Takir) under P035 (Kuala Nerus)?
